Hello,

My input files (captured on PC) are 1024 X 768 AVI.

I need to edit and produce WMV 1024 X 768.

How do I specify custom pixels while producing?

Thanks- Anjali

Hi Anjali -

To do that requires a custom WMV profile, which cannot be created within PDR12. There are two attached - PAL & NTSC - that will produce 1024x768 videos (4:3). I made them with a video bitrate of 10Mbps - just guessed.

To use them in PDR12, you need to put the .prx files in C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDirector12\Language\Enu\Profiles - or whichever Language folder is appropriate for your PDR12.

Cheers - Tony

Thank you very much. This is very helpful.
If possible, may I also have one for 800 X 600 WMV?

Hi Tony,
I figured out how to make PRX file for WMV. Your tutorials at PDtoots were very helpful. Thanks. After a bit of struggle, I managed and I am all set for now.

P.S.: To those of you who wish to make your own profiles: I had to download Windows Media Encoder to get the Windows Media Profile Editor. After I had the editor, it was kind of easy. Although I could not just copy and modify a current profile in Profile directory. It kept giving me error that I did not have proper permissions to copy into Profile directory. Had to Export the new profile in some other directory and then copy it into Profile directory. While copying, I again got the same error, but I clicked on 'Continue' and it did copy the new profile into Profile directory and then showed up while Producing the file.
